4 Years Ago when I came to South Africa I had to first sort out the internet connection and it was a month before I could post the first post. My Indiblogger rating fell after a long while and I needed it to go back to the original levels. I had to start once again to get in touch with a lot of brands using the channel I know best. I contacted all of them using Twitter and Sony Pictures was the one who got in touch with me and put me on the media list for Sterkinekor. I watched every picture they showcased every Tuesday and Thursday and then reviewed them too. I made a lot of friends at the movies and it was really fun to visit the same every week. I was not able to do it this year as I could not leave my office at the media screening times.

There is always a possibility to create opportunities and venture into something new which you have never done before. It has happened to me many times in my life and I am an opportunistic blogger. I calculate the returns on anything I do immediately and then see if that thing is worth the time I spend. It has given me a lot of benefits in terms of monetary benefits which bought me things I always wanted to buy. My whole benefits from my blog go back into paying for the domain and buying things like photography equipment. I love photography and used to win many photo contests on Facebook for many brands. I used to always see and remember the photos I have taken so as to fit the same for the right contest entry and it made me sure that I win the prize. Though it was never anything big, it was worth enjoying.

Opportunities have always brought me the strong willpower to work and win the game. I might be lacking in my game only due to work tensions or laziness but when I have thought about something, I have always worked to win it. Sometimes the world takes advantage of you where you live in false hope that something will happen if you do this for them or they will develop the soft corner for you but its a vicious circle. Get paid for your time and get away with the same and leave all emotions out so that there are no unfulfilled expectations at your end. If I get sponsorships for any place to go and attend, then I make sure I return the value in terms of my social media content sharing on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
